Resumo
Acute respiratory infections (ARI) are the largest group of diseases with
prevalence in children and were included among the three main public health
problems of childhood in the late 1960s. The high rate of morbidity makes
ARI the main cause of use of health services, representing 20 to 40% of
consultations in pediatric services worldwide and 12 to 35% of hospital
admissions. Among the main causes of infections, bacterial, fungal and viral
infections can be mentioned and according to the World Health Organization,
approximately 90% of respiratory infections in children are of viral origin.
Given the above, the objectives of the study were to evaluate the
epidemiological and molecular profile of acute respiratory infections caused
by influenza A and B viruses and their subtypes in children in Hospital
Centers in Goiânia-GO. All children with acute respiratory symptoms who
were treated in the Emergency Department and/or were admitted to Pediatric
wards and/or ICUs were included. Our results corroborate the data that
indicate that Rhinovirus, Adenovirus, Metapneumovirus and Influenza are
among the most important AKI agents in pediatrics. As for influenza viruses,
most patients were asymptomatic, however, some patients had symptoms
such as fever and cough. Most of the infected were female. Knowing the
epidemic period of respiratory infections observed in Goiânia can be useful to
plan and implement prevention strategies.
